Korean crusade attracts millions
by Beth Stien
A new policy this year
at Bethel's off-campus
apartments is the addition
of visitation rules. No per-sons
of the opposite sex
are allowed in any apart-ment
from 2-6 a.m. Accord-ing
to Rod Long, director
of housing, the change in
housing policy came be-cause
resident directors
felt they had little author-ity
to deal with violations
of Bethel lifestyle policy in
this area.
"We try to do more than
provide rooms and furni-ture
here at Bethel," said
Long. "Our housing pro-gram
is based on a devel-opmental
process; a grad-ual
delegation of responsi-.
bility takes place as the
student progresses, until
finally apartment life give
the student full responsi-bility
to live on his/her
own."
Asked if some of this
responsibility is being ques-tioned
by such a rule, Long
responded, "We are all
bound by Christian life-style
here at Bethel. This
new policy helps to keep
everything above board."
He indicated that this
does not reflect distrust in
the students. In an apart-ment
living situation
where supervision is as
minimal as it is, this pol-icy
is meant for those who
would flagrantly violate
the lifestyle policy. Long
reiterated, "It is for the
good of the community.
We're not just laying down_
rules for rules' sake."
Long sees the change as
positive, and believes en-forcement
will pose few
problems. "Most people
will go along with it," said
Long. "There will always
be a small segment who
will violate it anyway."
He emphasized the flex-ibility
of the rule, espe-cially
in cases of after-rollerskating
parties or
study sessions that might
run past two o'clock. "If
you want to have a group
of people in your apart-ment
for a party or some
type of gathering and you
know it will run past two,
let the R.D. know what's
going on. The rule is flexi-ble
enough to make excep-tions.
What we're most in-terested
in is keeping every-thing
up front," said Long.
Doug Dye, one of the
resident directors at the
Silvercrest Apartments, al-so
feels the change is posi-tive.
He believes Bethel need-ed
some guidelines peculiar
to apartment living.
In reference to enforce-ment
Dye responded, "The

President and Mrs. Lund-quist
took part in the lar-gest
recorded gathering in
history this 'summer dur-ing
the World Evangeliza-tion
Crusade in Korea.
More than two million peo-ple
attended each of the
four nightly meetings. One
night, over 2,700,000 came
to the meeting.
"The numbers of people
were tremendous," said
Nancy Lundquist. "We're
still pinching ourselves to
believe we saw what we
did." "When they asked
me to come," said Presi-based
on an honor system.
We expect the students to
follow the policy. The
A.D.s are not to serve as
policemen, but if they're
confronted with the prob-lem,
this rule gives them a
solid way to deal with it."
Dye also stated that nega-tive
reaction to the policy
has been minimal.
There has been a visita-tion
policy change on new
campus as well. Both town-houses
and dorms have

setting goals and praying
there might be over two
million people."
The crusade began with
a pre-rally, all-night pray-er
meeting. "Those who
stayed, stayed all night
because under martial law
no one is allowed on he
streets late at night," said
Mrs. Lundquist.
President Lundquist led
Bible expositions in one of
the local churches each
morning from 9-12 a.m., as
one of fifty speakers in-vited
from America. Inter-preters
translated into Kor-ean,
and the foreigners un-visiting
hours from 7-12
on Friday nights and from
2-6 p.m. on Sundays. This
change, from extended
hours in the townhouses
last year, is due to a prim-arily
freshman campus.
Director Long made it clear
that townhouses with all
or most residents as upper-classmen
are welcome to
send a representative to
him to discuss possible
reinstatement of extended
hours.

because translations
came over FM radio sta-tions.
Each morning at 5 a.m.,
the Koreans gathered to
pray, as they do daily.
The Lundquists said that
they pray differently there.
Each person prays outloud
in a "big, outside voice"
and use movement to ex-press
himself.
Thinking back to the
crusade, Mrs. Lundquist
said, "I wouldn't have been
surprised if the heavens
had opened and the Lord
had come right then."
"The seriousness of the
people was manifested
when it rained during one
of the two-hour sessions,"
said the President. "They

Artist Billy Mayer thinks
the art world has an ele-ment
of madness in it.
"It's an element you have
to have in this business.
You have to have both
your feet firmly planted
in mid-air."
Perhaps Mayer commun-icates
a little bit of this
craziness in his work, now
on exhibit in the gallery
until Oct. 18. Mayer's ex-hibition
opened Tuesday
evening with a matrix held
earlier in the afternoon. In
a matrix, an artist discuss-es
his own work in a pub-lic
forum.
Mayer calls the image
or form in his works a sun
dog. He saiwd ith has been
obssessed with the shape
for five years and it has
"popped up.. in his mind
many times. His works in
the gallery capture that
shape he calls sun dog.
"It's a series of pieces,
each of which tries to give
a different personality to
the form." Why is it called
sun clog? Mayer has no
idea, and doesn't know,
how the image came to his
an all-night prayer meet-ing."
Except for a few tes-timonies
and the invita-tion
Bill Bright gave each
evening, the Koreans did
everything in the nightly
service. 90 per cent of the
Korean churches partici-pated.
"It was impressive to
witness the mobilization
of the Christian people and
the many thousands of peo-ple
making professions for
Christ," said Mrs. Lund-quist.
"But what was more
impressive was the hun-dreds
and hundreds of
young people who express-ed
a desire to give them-selves
to full-time mission-ary
work."
The Koreans hope to
send out 1000 missionar-ies,
primarily for the evan-gelization
of Asia.
mind.
Mayer doesn't like his
work classified as mixed
media. "You're mixed me-dia,"
he told his audience,
discussing body composi-tion.
"What is your fin-oer
nail made of?"
Mayer said he is cam-paigning
for not stuffing
his exhibition with a lot of
works. "I like to leave
breathing room and a clear
atmosphere. I think about
the air it will breathe."
He uses cardboard ex-tensively

"This allows me to
cut or implant forms in
the surface, so they're com-pletely
married to the sur-face.
"I have a fixation with
fireworks, and think of .
myself as a sort of pyro-maniac."
Some of the
pieces have firecrackers,
sparklers and fuses im-planted
in the surface.

Thirty-two days from today the eligible citizens of
this country will go to the polls to vote for the candi-date
of their choice. The position to be filled: President
of the United States.
As we absorb ourselves in the worries of collegiate
life we sometimes fail in our responsibilities as citizens
of the free country in which we live, America. We feel
little or no sense of obligation to keep abreast of the
political scene, fearing the frustrations that is some-times
the result of such attention. We think that it
makes no difference if we don't vote.
There we are wrong. Although the popular vote is
not the deciding factor in the presidential election, it
does play an important role. The electoral college is
strongly influenced by the opinions of its constituents.
Even mild apathy on our part may give the members of
the electoral college a false impression of, our opnions
about the United States presidency.
For many the 1980 presidential election is a choice
between the lesser of two, or three, evils. The argument
goes then, that the lesser of these evils is still an evil.
Therefore, why should we vote. The question should
be, why shouldn't we vote?
At Bethel we can go a step further. Don't we as
Christians have an obligation to cast a ballot? (Ah, yes,
now we get restless. Now we start to wriggle in our
places. Now we feel a tinge of guilt—maybe.) But, we
argue, we don't think that we should vote—even as
Christians—if we don't know what the issues are and
don't really like any of the candidates.
We should stand corrected. We should be informed,
and the way to information is ours to find. The chan-nels
are many, though not always beckoning our atten-tion.
There is no doubt that awareness does not come

The seminary's Law

easy, but that doesn't excuse our lack of effort.
So we don't like any of the candidates. There is at
least one good element in every presidential candi-date—
most likely more than that. Once we become
informed we stand in a better position to determine
which candidate has the most fine attributes and
deserves to be elected. We probably won't agree with
everything about any given candidate, but we can find
enough common ground on which to rest our case in
support of that man.
This is not to send anyone down a guilt-laden trail.
Ours is not to preach, nor is it to condemn, judge or
otherwise chastise. We merely offer a simple reminder,
recognizing the intelligence possessed by members of
this community.
The Clarion wants to do more than remind, and with
this issue we begin a series of articles to help the Bethel
community reach a greater awareness of "Campaign
'80." We begin with a poll that reveals the general
opinions of the community regarding candidate and
party preference. We will continue with a presentation
of the candidates' stands on key issues such as energy,
foreign policy, abortion, ERA, minority problems,
inflation and the draft.
Subsequent issues will present a survey of the
issues which influence voters toward a certain candi-date,
essays on each candidate by students and profes-sors
and, finally, the facts about the where, when and
how of voting on November 4.
We may think that our voice is small, but imagine the
roar that could sound if the more than two thousand
members of this community stepped out on election
day and made even a small noise.

Bethel college and semi-nary
professors will begin
teaching new students Oct.
6 in the School of Adult
Enrichment and in the Lay
School of the Bible. The
professors will be teach-ing
from their field of spe-cialization,
thus creating a
variety of quality classes.
The School of Adult En-richment
is offered by the
college. The classes are pri-marily
"mini-versions" of
Bethel classes and are of a
"liberal-arts" type accord-ing
to Dr. Tricia Brownlee,
director of academic pro-grams.
The classes, which
do not carry any type of
credit, are open to anyone
and require no educational
prerequisite.
"We would like to see
this as an outreach," said
Brownlee, "and as a ser-vice

As to the idea of being
both a Christian and an

together. I do what I do."
And how does he deal
with the average layper-son
who asks about his

Homecoming week with
all its traditional (and not-so-
traditional) excitement
ing for, the service of the
service bureau.
Computer programming
never seems to be com-plete
because improve-ments
are always made to
make the system more ef-ficient.
Some day the li-brary
check-out procedure
may be computerized, and
book store billing, the tele-phone,
and possible Clar-ion
copy for the printer
can be arranged by the
computer.
Up-to-date information
is the computer's greatest
asset. All information is
accurate as of the last
transaction made. This
will be particularly bene-ficial
in student accounts.
Everyone at Bethel will
benefit from the system in
some way, directly or in-directly.
More information
is available faster than
ever before. For example,
class lists are now avail-able
within hours of the
last registration transac-tion.
Does all of this easy-to-obtain
information pose a
threat to the privacy of
students? All roster infor-mation
is stored in the
computer, but, according
to Harder, "personal infor-mation
is not available to
just anyone, only to auth-orized
personnel. The secur-ity
system is very elabo-rate."
Authorized person-nel
are assigned a pass-word,
and this is the "key"
to the system. In addition,
departments are restricted
only to information that is
related to their work.
Harder also emphasized
that the new computer is
intended to increase effi-ciency,
reduce lines and
save money, but not elim-inate
people. "There are
still things people can do
faster, easier and better
than machines."
Bethel employees can be
easily trained to run the
terminals. "The people as-pect
is important," said
Harder. "We have tried to
make operation of the ter-minal
as easy as possible.
We want acceptance of the
system made as easy as
possible."

Royal Investors support Bethel
by Leann M. Kicker
Royal Investors includes
about 300 people who give
generous amounts of mon-ey
to Bethel on a _regular
basis. The money these
people give is unrestricted,
going where it is the most
needed, rather than to a
specific area.
These unspecified mon-ies
go into Bethel's annual,
or current, fund which
pays for heat, light, salar-ies
and all the other ex-penses
involved in running
the school.
Bethel is operated on
gifts from many sources
besides the Royal Inves-tors.
John Sahlin, director
of development in Public
Affairs, summarized the

two convocation cha-pels
Monday and Tuesday
Oct. 6 and 7. He will focus
on the questions: When
you graduate, will a ma-chine
do your job? and Is
today's technology leading
our society toward George
Orwell's "1984"?
These convocations are
not Royal Investors, but
they can be, if they pledge
a certain amount at least
$15 monthly or $180 a
year. Most give much more.
The point is—that they
give on a regular, contin-uing
basis and that their
gifts are undesignated, in
other words, for the cur-rent
fund."
The Royal Investors re-sembles
most fund-raising
programs, "It is primarily
an acknowledgment and
incentive program for those
who support Bethel in a
regular way," said to Har-vey
DeVries, president of
the Bethel Development
Foundation.
Bethel provides acknow-ledgment
and incentive by
giving all members a mem-bership
card, sending them
informative literature on
the college and seminary
partially supported by the
Sperry and Hutchinson
Foundation, of S & H
Green Stamp fame.

with Sperry Univac since
1951, began researching
the future when he was
appointed staff consultant/-

and admitting them free to
some programs and athle-tic
events.
As a fund-raising pro-gram,
the Royal Investors
are successful and neces-sary
to Bethel's support
system. The consensus
among those interviewed
was that the Royals In-vestors
contribute substan-tially
to Bethel's $1.6 mil-lion
average annual goal.
Last year, 1979-80, the in-vestors
alone contributed
$250,000.
The group began around
1959 by five individuals
pooling their resources to
form the Bethel Investment
Corporation. The purposes
of the corporation was to
initiate Bethel's relocation
to the present campus. The

evolved into its present

Sherri Rheingold, the stu-dent
representative to the
on-site committee reported
the committee's discussion
of finding a new home for
the clipped geese.
Five years ago, 20 clipped
Canadian geese were plac-ed
in Lake Valentine be-cause
the species was on
the verge of extinction.
The lake was a desig-nated
wildlife preserve.
Since then the flock has
grown to over 200. The
geese are now beginning
to endanger the ecosystem
of the lake and tend to
make a mess on campus,
according to Rheingold's
report.
When a home is found
for the clipped geese, the
bubbler to keep the lake
thawed will be removed.
The hope is that this will
encourage the flock to find
a new home.

Joseph speaks on future concerns
The kingdom of the wide gate is deceiving
The kingdom of the wide gate is like a massive glacier that crawls down a valley
slower than the eye can measure. As it progresses it carries every tree and rock off
the surface until it finally fills the entire valley.
The kingdom of the wide gate is like this. A young girl developed a craving for
foods with sugar partly because her parents gave her sweets for good behavior and
partly because she reveled in sneaking cookies and chocolates which her parents
forbade her to eat. From year to year her craving was fostered, yet equally so were
the cavities that spread in her teeth. Neither her parents,nor she herself knew of these
cavities until a decade later when her mouth pained to even chew on a chocolate chip.
The kingdom of the wide gate is like a company of ants floating down a very slow
river on some styrofoam. In relation to all the driftwood and debris that floated along
with them, the ants perceived everything as stationary. But in relation to the turtle
observing them from the shore, the ants and all else adrift were heading downstream
towards the waterfall.
The kingdom of the wide gate can be compared to an audience watching a movie in
a theatre. During the film the phrases `Eat Popcorn' and 'Drink CocaCola' were
flashed on the screen so rapidly that nobody consciously saw it. And during inter-mission
nearly everyone went out to the lobby and bought refreshments until all the
food and drinks ran out.
The kingdom of the wide gate is like a group of children who constructed a variety
of sand castles along the sea shore. Some built tall ones; others built long ones. Some
castles had moats while others had sea shells for decoration. But soon the high tide
came in and washed over all the castles, leveling them as if they were never built.
The kingdom of the wide gate is like a mother making gingerbread people. All the
dough that doesn't fit into the mold is gathered into a ball and rolled out flat for more
people. And when the dough is not enough for the mold the mother eats it raw.
The kingdom of the wide gate is like a man who worked on a hundred-piece jigsaw
puzzle in order to glue the picture into a frame and preserve it. Every piece was
sought out and fitted into its proper place. In due time the puzzle was completed
except one piece was missing. As he searched high and low, the lost piece increas-ingly
provoked much irritation in him. Finally, he gave up and appeased his anger by
throwing out the other ninety-nine pieces in the garbage.
The kingdom of the wide gate is similar to a large school of small fish in the ocean.
By swimming close together they create the appearance of being unapproachable,
hence discouraging potential predators. The fish that wanders or fails to keep up
with the school falls prey for any hungry attackers. But the fish that concentrates on
swimming in unison with the others maintains his own safety.
The kingdom of the wide gate is like a box of rubber bands wherein every member
enjoys the relaxed company of his box. And yet each rubber band dreads the way he
might be chosen for some purpose.
Strive to enter the kingdom by the wide gate, for the way is easy....

Speech/Communication
offers job versatility Forensics flourish
at ISU tournament
by Debbie Anderson
So you think that speech
communication majors are
destined to give speeches
the rest of their lives? Not
true, according to several
speakers at the Speech As-sociation
of Minnesota
speech convention. The con-vention,
held Friday and
Saturday at the College of
St. Catherine, covered
many topics, from the role
of communication in dys-functional
families to thea-ter
dance in high schools
and colleges.
Two of the sessions were
especially designed for un-dergraduates.
They fo-cused
on the topic, "What
can speech communication
graduates do?" Bob Nel-son,
a graduate of Maca-lester
College and current-ly
employed at Northwes-tern
Banks, said that a
speech communication ma-jor
is actually the best ma-jor
to have because of its
versatility.
David Lee, assistant pro-fessor
and chairman of the
speech communication de-partment
at Bethel, said
that this is especially im-portant
because 80 per cent
of the jobs as we know
them today will not exist
in five years.
Tom Netherton, nation-ally
known singer with
the Lawrence Welk Show,
will appear at the Jesus
People Church, 805 Hen-nepin
Avenue in Minnea-polis,
on Saturday, Oct. 11
for two benefit concerts
sponsored by the Greater
Minneapolis Association
of Evangelicals (GMAE).
Concert times are 2:30
p.m. and 8:00 p.m., and
tickets cost $6.00 for the
evening concert. Senior ci-
TwO recent Bethel grad-uates
were also on the pro-gram.
Scott Larson, a 1980
graduate, spoke on job al-ternatives.
Denise (Han-sen)
Oie, a 1980 graduate,
spoke on skills that are
needed on the job. Other
speakers gave tips on how
to look for a job, ideas for
interviews and suggestions
for job preparation.
Several Bethel students
attended the convention.
Many left encouraged
about job prospects. One
student said, "I'm glad I
went to the convention. It
made me excited about look-ing
for a job."

Non-study skills uncovered by government studies
by Laura Phillips
"Recent government studies now conclusively show
that studying drastically improves college students'
non-studying skills."
I read this with mixed emotions. Being a college
student, I was understandably excited to discover
myself so personally identified in print.
However, skepticism also crept into my well-trained
mind upon reading the words, "government studies
now conclusively show..." After all, government studies
have conclOsively shown leisure suits may cause
cancer in mice, and landslides can be hazardous to
your health. So what?
I read on.
"Long suspected of occuring, this improvement of
non-study skills was recently uncovered at Bethel
College in Arden Hills, Some important findings fol-low.
"While 'studying' in the LRC's quiet study
area, it was found that the average student
becomes extremely adept at:
—sleeping
—manicuring his/er nails using only teeth
and a Bic pen
—accurately guessing how many para-graphs
a nearby student highlights over a
23 -minute period
—eating crinkly-wrapped candy noise-lessly
—deciphering film soundtracks coming
through the concrete-block wall of the
adjoining classroom
—slouching
—tying and untying his/er shoelaces with-out
using hands.
"While 'studying' in the LRC next to a window, the
average student easily masters the skills of:
—sleeping
—counting clouds
—determining the rug's fiber content
—reading book titles eight stacks down
—counting leaves on a mature oak tree
—depending on the sun's position, mak-ing
handmade miniature sundials out of
notebook paper
—estimating the velocities of passing
cars and joggers
—composing variations on the theme
'The Fluorescent Light Buzz.'
"While 'studying' in Doc's Corner, the average student
effortlessly conquers the skills of:
—sleeping
—adding mustaches and/or beards to all
faces in textbook pictures (this skill is
somewhat rare due to the appalling scarc-ity
of pictures in college textbooks)
—people-watching
—talking
—determining by smell alone the chemi-cal
compositions of concoctions occuring in
the adjacent chemistry labs
—gaining weight (due to cookie intake)
—becoming addicted to-coffee."
Further studies also show that "studying" in dorms
and/or apartments radically alters students' personal-ities.
The article continued, but I had decided to test the
government's findings and conduct a small-scale study
on my own: I would go to the LRC, "study," and record
my results.
The next day, staggering under a small mountain of
philosophy and business textbooks, I laid claim to a
quiet study area carrell. Upon opening the first text-book
in the mortuary-like silence, strange things began
to happen:
—I found myself tracing every conceiv-able
woodgrain pattern in the carrell I
could find.
—I wrote my mother a long letter (this
may not seem strange, except I am a com-muter).
—I tried writing "This carrell is reserved
for quite study" in 12 languages (this took
some time as I only know one and a half
languages).
—I fell asleep.

The campus coordina-tor
position made its de-but
in the fall of 1970, with
senior John Goodman as
the sole coordinator.
Goodman's duties for
the trial position included
most of the same duties
.associated with the job
now, with the exception of
a new student exchange
program called SWAP.
The idea of the program
was to exchange 14 other
students livith two other
campuses for a week, to
provide interaction be-tween
schools, and "an
all-around view of ano-ther
campus."
Goodman also made ar-rangements
with Day-ton's

Growth has caused the
Bethel's Theatre Arts de-partment
to add new cur-riculum,
restructuring
classes to give students a
more intense and in-depth
study.
"Our department is ma-turing,"
said Doug Briggs,
chairman. "We've made the
big step and we're going to
try to stand on our own
and compete with other
schools of our size, both
secular and Christian."
In past years the depart-ment
has had many begin-ning
level classes, but in-sufficient
upper level
courses. This prompted the
decision to revise the cur-riculum.
Students wishing to fill
a creativity requirement
now have creative perfor-mance
which is open only
to 10 p.m. After ten years,
however, the effects of the
policy have proven negli-gible:
library socializing
in 1980 is still a highly
communicable disease.
New Curriculum.
Ever wonder how those
Iwo letters become at-tached
to some of the
course numbers at Bethel?
Ten years ago the current
curriculum of concern-oriented
and discipline-oriented
courses was pre-sented
before the faculty.
The curriculum commit-t
ee had been meeting
weekly for, two years, and
prior to tha,t meet-ings
involved discussions
on the curriculum.
. One of the committee's
foremost conclusions was
that the studePt "has
learned ways to cope with
life...and comes to us with
common human concerns.
It is these concerns with
which the new curriculum
attempts to deal."
The new curriculum
saw both the teacher and
student as holding these
common concerns, with
the difference that the
teacher had more years of
experience behind him.
to non-theatre concentra-tors.
Creative performance in-troduces
students to dif-terpretation,
radio and tele-vision.
Non-concentrators like
the addition of the crea-tive
performance course.
Karin Christensen, present-ly
enrolled in the class,
said, "It is nice not to have
theatre concentrators in
creative performance. I
don't have to feel intimi-dated
by the people who
specialize in theatre."
Theatre in the church is
another new arrival. This
is a practically-oriented
class dealing with drama
in the church.
The Christian in thea-tre,
a new upper level
course, discusses Christian
ethics and theology while
integrating it with theatre
practice and aesthetics.

MissionarieS, said Larson,
should be building bridges •
between walls. "The great-est
thing that the SMP
experience could offer to a
young person is the oppor-tunity
to go out and learn
from somebody whom his
culture has told him to
look down on," he said.
Larson plans to use
many of his experiences
and findings in two books
that he is writing: "Bare-foot
Approach to Language
Learning" and "Bi-Pass-ing."
What is needed is orien-tation
programs that can
somehow teach attitudes,
said Larson. Missionaries
must not criticize and
separate themselves from
the culture, but they must
adopt the culture's way of
life and actually become a
part of it.

What is stationary in
the center and has arms
that stretch beyond the
Twin Cities? It is not the
creature from Lake Valen-tine,
but Bethel's own cam-pus
ministries office, lo-cated
in LRC 326.
Curt Hansen coordinates
Student Outreach, an arm
of the office that deals with
activities related to church-es
and Christian organiza-tions.
He helps interested
people become involved in
youth ministry within
churches, teaching Sunday
school or leading music.
He is the touchstone on
campus for organizations
such as Campus Crusade,
which is involved with
evangelism training, and
Inter-Varsity, which has
turned its Bethel focus
towards discipleship and
small groups.
The Baptist Student
Union organization which
began last year, and out-reach
programs such as
Campus Life and Lovelines
also keep in contact with
Hansen for possible stu-dents
for their staffs.
Hansen is also involved
with Student Missionary

Ask 235 people what
makes a good chapel ser-vice
and there will be 235
different answers. Dave
Horn, assistant campus
pastor, is developing cha-pel
programs with a diver-sity
to meet some of stu-dents
varied needs and in-terests.
There will be issues dir-ected
at students' prob-lems
such as a talk by Dr.
Art Lewis; biblical studies
professor, on "dating." Wed-nesdays
have been design-ed
to be a more formal
type of worship service.
Lee Eliason, campus pas-tor
while Jim Spickelmier
is on sabbatical, and Dr.
Bruce Leafblad from the
music department, led the
community in various
forms of worshiping God.
Horn has also attemp-ted
to use the services of
such familiar names as Jill
Briscoe, Josh McDowell,
John White, Madeline L'En-gle,
Arthur Holmes, Tony
Campolo, Dawson MacAl-lister,
John Perkins and
Ken Medema.
Horn has approximately
$4,000 to work with for
the year. This pays for
honorariums, travel and
lodging for speakers plus
additional chapel costs.
Horn also looks forward
to chapels that tap the
creative potential of this
community: various stu-dent
and faculty chapels;
departmental chapels, in-cluding
the art, music and
drama departments; and
various multi-media pre-sentations.
This year he
wants to get away from
just speaker-oriente chapels.
Although Horn does the
chapel programming, he
receives suggestions from
the chapel and spiritual
life committee. He also en-courages
suggestions from
the students and faculty.
While chapel programs
are designed to be atten-tion-
getting, entertainment
is not their goal. Horn feels
that if there is something
challenging or thought-pro-voking,
people will be there.
"I'm excited about this
year and the tone that's on
campus," Horn said. He
sees chapel as having a
significant role in the com-munity.
He also stressed
that chapel attendance is
expected. "I think we need
to re-evaluate the word
'expected.' Students have
a responsibility. Whether
or not chapel is entertain-ing
is besides the point."

groups" have had a diffi-cult
time maintaining their
minuteness. However, this
is not being perceived as a
catastrophe, as the enthu-siasm
only promotes the
quality of fellowship at
Bethel.
In addition to holding
daily Bible studies and en-couraging
the use of prayer
partners, Inter-Varsity is
interested in providing Bi-ble
study materials to any
other small groups that
would care to use them.

Ginny Olson, junior, worked in Kenya, Africa with the summer
missions program.
Senior Bonnie Goding spent the summer working in Narimasu, Japan for SMP.

Summer SMPers weigh attitudes, babies, culture
by Naomi Ludeman
Bonnie Goding, senior,
learned a lotabout faith as
one of 36 students sent out
under the Student Mission-ary
Project (SMP) last
summer. One afternoon
she found herself lost, be-wildered
and against
many odds. She had to
choose a train to board out
of approximately a hun-dred
to take her to her des-tination.
She could not
speak the language to ask
for help. All she could do
was believe that God
would guide her to the
right train.
"By a miracle," she said,
she arrived safety in Nari-masu,
Tokyo, Japan, where
she taught conversational
English and led Bible stud-ies
in a Christian church.
Besides adjusting to the
domestic cultural habits
of Japan she had to deal
with a different way of
thinking and of dealing
with conflict.
"In Japan the group is
more important than the
individual," she said.
"When solving a conflict,
everyone's suggestions are
used with total considera-tion
to make the final deci-sion.
Voicing honest per-sonal
opinions is not ex-pected.
An individual iden-tity
does not exist apart
from the group. I learned
to be more patient and put
myself in their shoes."
Goding recognized many
of her own hidden cultural
patterns and often ques-tioned
whether they truly
represented Christianity.
"What cultural things in
the American church does
God put up with in order
to accomplish His greater
purpose?" she asked.
Goding holds the same
positive feelings about mis-sions
she had before she
left. She believes she
would have a ministry whe-ther
she remained in the
United States or-traveled
abroad. "If the Lord calls
me, I will most definitely
go anywhere," she said.
"The most urgent thing I
would tell the Bethel fam-ily
is that God is faithful.
He has walked the way
before us. We can go into
anything and be conquer-ors,"
she emphasized.
Ginny Olson, junior,
spent her summer in Ken-ya,
Africa, with the help of
SMP. Her work involved
weighing babies for health
clinics, typing business sta-tistics
for the Kijabe Med-ical
Centre and teaching
English and Sunday school.
"Just because I was do-ing
an obvious task for the
Lord did not mean I was a
super-saint. I hit the same
rain clouds in Kenya as I
do here."
Olson's expectations of
herself for the summer lev-eled
to reality once she
started her work in Ken-ya.
"I thought I would make
a big impact and that I
was doing something spe-cial.
I was humbled in see-ing
myself as just one of
many of the Lord's work-ers,"
she said.
It was a great summer,
but not all fun. She be-came
frustrated with her
job and the people around
her. "I got caught up in the
same trivial things there
as I can be caught in at
home," Olson said. She
made friends with the peo-ple
with whom she lived
and worked, but she also
felt alone at times. She said
through the summer "God
has become my best friend.
Wherever I am, He is. He
is not tied by physical boun-daries."
Two years ago Olson
did not think missions was
for her. She heard that if
you are not open to any-where
God wants you to
be than you are not totally
His. The Lord began to
change her attitude. Doors
started to open for the pos-sibilities
of a missionary
experience through SMP.
After attending Urbana
'79 her desire grew, so she
applied to SMP. "Now I
feel that our prayer should
not be whether we are
called to go but whether
we are called to stay!" she
said.
On the opposite side of
Africa another Bethel stu-dent
served through SMP,
junior Mark Whittemore.
Before going to Africa,
Whittemore thought of him-self
as a spectator of mis-sions
rather than an ac-tual
worker. His exper-ience
in the Benin Repub-lic
was just the opposite.
By day he was a fix-it
man, maintenance man and
carpenter. He learned to
create make-shift equip-ment
out of available ma-terials.
By night he taught Bible
and English studies and
had prayer with the Chris-tian
nationals.
The Benin Republic has
an unstable government.
The present government
has controlled the Repub-lic
for only seven .years.
The fact that political
change could take place
any time unsettled Whit-temore
some. He also fear-ed
the nationals' reactions
to him as a white man.
The most pertinent les-son
Whittemore learned
was the meaning of the
phrase "by prayer." He was
away from the people he
knew and loved best. "It
was just the Lord and me,"
he said. Yet by prayer he
experienced peace. He said
he developed an "unyield-ing
confidence in the Lord
no matter what the circum-stance."
We also experienced the
reality of the bridge of
prayer. Knowing that peo-ple
prayed for him en-couraged
and comforted
him. He wants to encour-age
everyone to pray for
and write to specific mis-sionaries.
Whittemore was sur-prised
to learn that "mis-sionaries
are real people."
They have anxieties. A
night for fun and a game of
Yahtzee was a common
sight. They appreciate ma-terial
things too, he said.
Whittemore urged the Be-
Theatre department
from page 7
Changes have also been
made in theatre practicum,
the department's senior sem-i
na r. Projects are designed
by the individual and ap-proved
by the faculty. Prd-jects
can include design-ing
lights or costumes for
a play, writing and per-forming
a play or doing a
type of senior recital with
different types of drama-tic
pieces or oral interpre-tations.
Daniel Runion, a senior
theatre concentrator, said,
"It is exciting to see the
changes. It offers those in
the theatre arts program
and those coming into the
program an opportunity
thel family not to "hesitate
because you feel unquali-fied
or because of finances.
The Lord needs availabil-ity
more than ability."
These are only three of
the thirty-six students sup-ported
by the prayer and
finances of many last sum-mer.
All are eager to talk
about their enriching sum-mers.
Students interested
in SMP may contact the
campus ministries office.
for a more intense and
serious study."
These changes will cause
lower enrollment for upper
level courses but will
strenghten the department
for theatre concentrators.
It will give concentrators
a chance to excel in their
classes because all the stu-dents
will be advanced and
more serious about the sub-ject.
"It is distinctive to have
a theatre arts program at a
Christian school," said
Briggs. "We hope to draw
more theatre concentrators
as freshman because of
our changes."

Welcome Week: new light to old ideas
by Shari Goddard
Dr. Alfred Glenn used
fifteen years of his "Theol-ogy
One" class as a cruci-ble
for his book, "Taking
Your Faith to Work." In
short, easy-to-read sec-tions,
Glenn attempts to
supply solid theological an-swers
for important ques-tions
of applied faith.
In each doctrinal study,
Glenn writes in a refresh-ingly
simple style that
brings theological jargon
into firm, easily under-standable
language. His to-pics
of exploration include:
the essence of Christian
faith, the Church, worship,
Sunday, work, politics,
marriage, death, the self,
Spiritual gifts, authority
and mystery.
In his preface, Glenn ex-plains
that one of his goals
was to "correct misunder-standings
that are frequent-ly
held by evangelicals ...
every topic in this book
touches on evangelical mis-understandings
that are ei-ther
contrary to Scripture,
or simply inadequate inter-pretations
of Scripture."
Though the sections are
not meant to be fully devel-oped
statements of sys-tematic
theology, the
thoughtful development of
each subject brings into
perspective complex issues
of faith in a modern world.
While he attempts to an-swer
many questions,
Glenn is also careful to
leave the reader with some
unanswered. Each section
A public forum on the
U.S.-Iran crisis will be

This year's Welcome
Week program was dif-ferent
from other years at
Bethel College, a difference
attributed to new leader-ship,
both among students
and administration.
The student leaders of
the 1980 Welcome Week
staff, Tammy Carlson and
Gregg Heinsch, both sen-iors,
began their work in
January 1980. Their task,
co-ordinating Welcome
Week, was completed this
fall when the new fresh-men
and transfer students
were oriented to Bethel.
Carlson and Heinsch be-gan
by determining goals
and philosophies for the
1980 Welcome Week.
The new emphasis this
year was not merely on
academics. Rather, the em-ends
with questions for
discussion.
Glenn lists Scripture pas-sages
in full if their use is
especially essential to an
argument, but he encour-ages
looking up many of
the references for the rea-der's
own benefit.
The twelve separate sec-tions
make this an excel-lent
choice for group or
class study. The topical
arrangement also lends it
good form for use as a per-sonal
reference. It is hoped
that another fifteen years
need not pass for the cru-cible
of the classroom to
help Glenn pull another
vibrant work from the fire.
a series of workshops will
be held on such topics as
Iran and the media, the
role of Islam and the his-tory
of U.S.-Iranian rela-tions.
A film and slide-show
will also be shown.
Suggested donation is
$2 for each day. Bring your
own lunch or call in reser-vations
for a prepared lunch.
This event is sponsored
by Minnesota Clergy and
Laity Concerned, and en-dorsed
by U of M Fellow-ship

phasis was on introducing
the new students to a well-rounded
life of activities
at Bethel. According to
Carlson, "Welcome Week
was to show that being a
Christian was not some-thing
outside of academ-ics.
It is integrated with
social and spiritual growth
as well."
Choosing participants
for the 1980 Welcome Week
Staff was the next step for
the coordinators. Auditions
were held last March. Out
of 150 applicants, 48 were
chosen on the basis of how
they would fit into the
goals of the program. No
returning staff member
was allowed to come back
without audition.
This year's theme verse
was Psalms 126:3, "The
Lord has done great things
for us; we are glad." The
staff members served the
new students out of the
joy that God has given
them. Carlson and Heinsch
picked a staff that would
reach out to other people.
When talking about the
selection of participants,
Carlson said, "We spent a
lot of time in prayer."
Preparing spiritually
played a big role in this
year's Welcome Week. The
staff prayed a lot, espe-cially
in times of need.

A sabbatical does not
mean a vacation, at least
not for Don Larson, pro-fessor
of linguistics and
anthropology. Larson was
in Southeast Asia from
April 6 to May 6 this past
spring, researching and as-sisting
missionary orien-ta
lion programs. His task
was to help missionaries
who were having trouble
adapting to the culture and
language of the country.
Larson spent most of his
time in Japan, Taiwan, the
Philippines, Hong Kong,
Thailand and Bangladesh.
A "typical" clay began at
6:30 a.m. when he was
picked up to go to the
home of a missionary to
discuss their problems in
language learning.
At 8 a.m. he went to a
language school to meet
with the director and teach-ers.
He visited classes and
exchanged questions and
answers with both teach-
"We're praying because it
works, not because it's the
thing to do," said Heinsch.
A new and different high-light
was a communion
service last May when all
the planning was done, per-formed
by an off-campus
pastor. The spiritual em-phasis
helped unite the
staff.
Carlson and Heinsch ac-credit
the new and differ-ent
organization of Wel-come
Week to the new
dean of men, Charles Retts.
Both the leaders agreed
,*
ers and students.
He usually spent lunch
with a committee that
wanted to discuss mission-ary
issues.
By 2:30 p.m. he was at a
teacher's home discussing
more topics concerning
language learning. • Later
in the afternoon he met
with students.
6:30 was suppertime, fol-lowed
by an informal meet-ing
with missionary lead-ers.
When everyone left
and Larson was alone, Lar-son
said he pulled out his
notes and tape recorder so
that when he returned
home he "wouldn't get to-day
confused with tomor-row."
Larson left Southeast
Asia with a deeper reali-zation
that missionaries
should be more socially
and culturally prepared to
go into the mission field.
He cited one case of a
missionary who, after
three years, had not yet
learned the language of
the Asian country he was
that Retts was a positive
influence. Said Heinsch,
"Charlie gave. us a new
enthusiasm. He gave a new
light to old ideas."
Retts stressed the need
for proper organization
and communication. These
two elements were very
important because Wel-come
Week involved eve-ryone
in the school, not
just 48 staff members.
Retts attended almost all
the functions of . Welcome
Week, and really became
one of the staff.
41,
in. After probing and ques-tioning,
Larson discovered
that this missionary had
been stationed in this
same Asian country while
he was in the United
States Army. During the
service, the man develop-ed
a resentment against
t he people of the country.
Thirteen years later these
feelings were still simmer-ing,
making him ineffec-tive
as a missionary, said
Larson.
He said that this was
just one example of how
walls are built between
people. All too often mis-sionary
candidates are
"unable, unwilling and un-ready
to learn from people
their own culture has
taught them to look down
on."
Instead of having a su-perior
attitude, missionar-ies
should be learners, striv-ing
to live side-by-side with
people from that country.

Royals top Hamline, tie Gustavus
by T.J. Johnson
The soccer team is still
going about its winning
ways this week with a 2-0
victory over Hamline on
Wednesday and a 0-0 tie
on Saturday.
In both games Royals
dominated play most of
the game.
The Saturday game
against Gustavus was the
biggest game of the year
so far. They went ready to
play. They wanted a win
and proved it with great
defense by Andy Larson
who has really taken con-trol
of that aspect of the
game along with Steve Fi-gini,
Jeff Krause, Doug Bar-key
and especially goalie
Bo Cedersjo, who has now
3 scoreless games to his
credit. This defense has
only let in one goal - in the
last three games.
The coach said Greg "Zig-gy"
Held played super on
offense, getting off many
shots.
He also said the soccer
team has really come
around the corner and is
going to be one of the top
teams. By the end of the
year they are going to have
to come to us.
The J.V. team is really
starting to come around.
On Saturday they had a
1-1 tie with the Gushes
J.V., with a goal - being
scored by freshman Dave
Anderson. If they would
have pulled out the first
game, Mark Leigh thinks
we would have won the
second game too.
"It was an excellent game
both ways. They played
well too and I'm pleased
with the results," said
Leigh.
The Wednesday game
was a different story. The
team started out slow and
tired but finished out on
top with goals by Steve
"William" Figini and Joel
"Edman" Kraakevic with
assists from Capt. Jon
Fredrickson, senior.
Halfbacks Kraakevic,
Neil Kaiser and Mark
Koerner, the silent work-horse,
played exceptional
soccer in the Wednesday
game.
Cedersjo earned the 2-0
shutout after an excellent
game with help from jun-ior
Andy Larson.
The team would has a
five game homestand start-ing
Wednesday, Oct. 1 at 4

Canoe races, bike races,
a swim meet and a chess
tournament make up a few
of the ten new events add-ed
to the intramural sche-dule
this year. "We're try-ing
to open up more things
for more students instead
of concentrating on just
the big things," explains
Phil Almeroth, intramural
director. Other additions
include men's volleyball, a
cross-country meet, a back-gammon
tournament, a
cross-country ski race and
a track meet.
The student directors of
the intramural program
this year are Leslie Smith
and Phil Almeroth. Smith,
junior, has a physical ed-ucation
concentration. She
will be in charge of all
women's events. Almeroth
also a junior, has a busi-ness
concentration.
George Palke, assistant
professor in physical edu-cation
and basketball
coach, is the faculty advi-sor
for the program. Bob
Giddings, Bob Gerr, Shei-la
Kroon and Brad Nau-man
will serve as events
supervisors.
Faculty, staff and any
students taking at least
one class are eligible to
participate. Students on a
varsity or junior varsity
team cannot participate in
that intramural sport.
There will be five days in
advance of each activity
to sign up. Almeroth em-phasizes
that they will be
strict on the deadlines, al-lowing
no exceptions.
Fees will be charged for
some of the large team
events, and following the
tournaments individual
and team champions will
receive a certificate. Win-ners
in each of the sports
can also purchase T-shirts.
Almeroth states that
sign-up sheets for reserv-ing
racquetball courts are
at the intramural office,
PE 221, Friday mornings
at 7:30. Reservations are
the following Monday
through Saturday.
The intramural depart-ment
will open the gym
from 8:15-10:15 on week-day
nights, 9-4 p.m. on
Saturdays and 2-4 p.m.on
Sundays for anyone who
wishes to use the facil-ities.
The department has ath-letic
equipment which stu-dents
and faculty may
check out with a valid ID
card. Items available in-clude
basketballs, canoes,
tennis racquets, ski equip-ment
and volleyball equip-ment.
Some items require
a rental fee.
Further information can
be found in the intramural
handbook containing all
eligibility rules, sports
rules, rental fees and pre-vious
standings. These
booklets are available from

The Bethel Royals foot-ball
squad found out Sat-urday
that you can't keep
a good team down. They
took on the highly-ranked
UW-River Falls Falcons
and found out what a good
football team can really
do. The Falcons big-play
offense was too much for
the Royals who lost 51-15.
The Falcons, who made
the NAIA playoffs last
year, and this year were
rated sixth in the nation,
rolled out to an early lead.
Their first touchdown
came on a 56-yard scamper
by quarterback Jim Abbs.
The Royals took the the
ensuing kick-off and drove
down to the Falcon two-yard
line.
On the fourth down the
Royals gambled and went
for six points instead of a
field goal. But quarterback
Jim Anderstrom fumbled
the snap from center and
Bethel's hopes for an upset
seemingly were smashed.
River Falls then went
down the field, culminat-ing
the drive with a one-yard
run by halfback Dale
Mueller. The conversion
made the score 14-0, River
Falls. The Falcons scored
their third touchdown of
the first quarter on a raz-and
15-8. And, to conclude
the day, Bethel devastated
Concordia-St. Paul, 15-1
and 15-4. Bethel alone had
a perfect record for the
tournament, earning them
the tournament title.
Book commented on the
individual performances
this weekend, "In that
many games it is difficult
to pick one or two (best
performances); every sin-gle
person came through
for us. This year we are
blessed with depth on the
bench. I can take them off
the bench, put them in the
game and have confidence
in their play."
Bethel also defeated Gus-tavus
Adolphus and St.
Scholastica last week in
three out of five matches.
The Royals now stand 9-2
over-all and 1-0 in the con-ference.

that of the six teams in the
Northern Minnesota Con-ference
four will go to the

have a good chance of

second straight week, fresh-man
Steve Doten came in
the game and directed the
Royals to two touchdowns.
The first drive was im-pressive
as Doten consis-tently
found that his re-ceivers,
especially Pete
Kramka and Rich Graves,
were always in an open
area. Then, at the Falcon's
three-yard line, Doten hit
Ken Cooper and "Coop"
was all alone going into
the end zone. Paul Lind-berg's
conversion brought
Bethel closer at 21-7.
Later, Doten found Rich
Graves open in the end
zone after another strong
drive. The senior wide re-ceiver
hauled in the pass.
and the score was 21-13.
The Royals lined up for
the conversion kick, but
holder Rich Duehn took
the snap and threw to Coo-per
for two points. making
the halftime score 21-15.
In the second half the
Falcons showed their pow-er
as they ran and passed

gains. They began kvith

Tomorrow the women's
cross country team will
compete at St. Olaf in a
large invitational meet.
Coach Leighton Betz pre-dicted
it would be an "ex-tremely
tough meet, as all
the better schools will be
there."
Last week Bethel fin-ished
eighth of 13 at the
Mankato meet, and every-one
ran a personal best.
Ellie Abbott finished the
three mile, 188-yard course
first for Bethel and 12th of
the 100 runners with a
time of 19:09.
Linda Hallblade finished
46th with 21:05; Daryl Pe-terson
came in 51st with
23:12; Kathy Zappe was
52nd with 23:49; Carla
Lorch took the 59th posi-tion
with 24:94; JoAnne
Ferril was 61st with 24:25;
Ruth Olsen came in 91st
with 26:08; and Penny Ly-on
finished 93rd with
26:32.
Brenda Harris and Lana
Lauwers did not partici-pate
due to injuries.
Coach Betz said of the
upcoming St. Olaf meet,
"The St. Olaf course is
hilly, which presents a new
type of challenge, but it
will add some interest to
the meet."
The State tournament
will take place at St. Olaf,
so the team will be able to
practice for it. Coach Betz
pointed out that in Bethel's

finished ahead of Abbott

Bethel Head Coach Dud
Lutton attributed the Fal-con's
domination to con-fusion
on the part of the
Bethel defense. "They used
some alignments and for-mations
that we were not
prepared for. When they
used a basic offense, we
were able to stay with
them. But when they used
a different offense in the
second half, we had some
problems with it."
Coach Lutton was
pleased with Doten's pass-ing
and the receiving of
Graves, Cooper, Kramka
and Frank Sanza. "Offen-sively,
Steve Doten did
some good things for us,
and our receivers also did
a very good job. Also, our
offensive line was much-improved
in their pass
blocking. Our major goal
this year is to get the struc-ture
of our program into
effect. Further down, as
our program grows, we
will be able to compete
with teams like (River
Falls)."
When asked if the quar-terback
changes made in
the last two weeks are
permanent, Lutton said
"No, but we're working on
it."

Korean crusade attracts millions
by Beth Stien
A new policy this year
at Bethel's off-campus
apartments is the addition
of visitation rules. No per-sons
of the opposite sex
are allowed in any apart-ment
from 2-6 a.m. Accord-ing
to Rod Long, director
of housing, the change in
housing policy came be-cause
resident directors
felt they had little author-ity
to deal with violations
of Bethel lifestyle policy in
this area.
"We try to do more than
provide rooms and furni-ture
here at Bethel," said
Long. "Our housing pro-gram
is based on a devel-opmental
process; a grad-ual
delegation of responsi-.
bility takes place as the
student progresses, until
finally apartment life give
the student full responsi-bility
to live on his/her
own."
Asked if some of this
responsibility is being ques-tioned
by such a rule, Long
responded, "We are all
bound by Christian life-style
here at Bethel. This
new policy helps to keep
everything above board."
He indicated that this
does not reflect distrust in
the students. In an apart-ment
living situation
where supervision is as
minimal as it is, this pol-icy
is meant for those who
would flagrantly violate
the lifestyle policy. Long
reiterated, "It is for the
good of the community.
We're not just laying down_
rules for rules' sake."
Long sees the change as
positive, and believes en-forcement
will pose few
problems. "Most people
will go along with it," said
Long. "There will always
be a small segment who
will violate it anyway."
He emphasized the flex-ibility
of the rule, espe-cially
in cases of after-rollerskating
parties or
study sessions that might
run past two o'clock. "If
you want to have a group
of people in your apart-ment
for a party or some
type of gathering and you
know it will run past two,
let the R.D. know what's
going on. The rule is flexi-ble
enough to make excep-tions.
What we're most in-terested
in is keeping every-thing
up front," said Long.
Doug Dye, one of the
resident directors at the
Silvercrest Apartments, al-so
feels the change is posi-tive.
He believes Bethel need-ed
some guidelines peculiar
to apartment living.
In reference to enforce-ment
Dye responded, "The
enforcement is mainly

President and Mrs. Lund-quist
took part in the lar-gest
recorded gathering in
history this 'summer dur-ing
the World Evangeliza-tion
Crusade in Korea.
More than two million peo-ple
attended each of the
four nightly meetings. One
night, over 2,700,000 came
to the meeting.
"The numbers of people
were tremendous," said
Nancy Lundquist. "We're
still pinching ourselves to
believe we saw what we
did." "When they asked
me to come," said Presi-based
on an honor system.
We expect the students to
follow the policy. The
A.D.s are not to serve as
policemen, but if they're
confronted with the prob-lem,
this rule gives them a
solid way to deal with it."
Dye also stated that nega-tive
reaction to the policy
has been minimal.
There has been a visita-tion
policy change on new
campus as well. Both town-houses
and dorms have
dent Lundquist. "they were
setting goals and praying
there might be over two
million people."
The crusade began with
a pre-rally, all-night pray-er
meeting. "Those who
stayed, stayed all night
because under martial law
no one is allowed on he
streets late at night," said
Mrs. Lundquist.
President Lundquist led
Bible expositions in one of
the local churches each
morning from 9-12 a.m., as
one of fifty speakers in-vited
from America. Inter-preters
translated into Kor-ean,
and the foreigners un-visiting
hours from 7-12
on Friday nights and from
2-6 p.m. on Sundays. This
change, from extended
hours in the townhouses
last year, is due to a prim-arily
freshman campus.
Director Long made it clear
that townhouses with all
or most residents as upper-classmen
are welcome to
send a representative to
him to discuss possible
reinstatement of extended
hours.
derstood the Korean speak-ers
because translations
came over FM radio sta-tions.
Each morning at 5 a.m.,
the Koreans gathered to
pray, as they do daily.
The Lundquists said that
they pray differently there.
Each person prays outloud
in a "big, outside voice"
and use movement to ex-press
himself.
Thinking back to the
crusade, Mrs. Lundquist
said, "I wouldn't have been
surprised if the heavens
had opened and the Lord
had come right then."
"The seriousness of the
people was manifested
when it rained during one
of the two-hour sessions,"
said the President. "They

Artist Billy Mayer thinks
the art world has an ele-ment
of madness in it.
"It's an element you have
to have in this business.
You have to have both
your feet firmly planted
in mid-air."
Perhaps Mayer commun-icates
a little bit of this
craziness in his work, now
on exhibit in the gallery
until Oct. 18. Mayer's ex-hibition
opened Tuesday
evening with a matrix held
earlier in the afternoon. In
a matrix, an artist discuss-es
his own work in a pub-lic
forum.
Mayer calls the image
or form in his works a sun
dog. He saiwd ith has been
obssessed with the shape
for five years and it has
"popped up.. in his mind
many times. His works in
the gallery capture that
shape he calls sun dog.
"It's a series of pieces,
each of which tries to give
a different personality to
the form." Why is it called
sun clog? Mayer has no
idea, and doesn't know,
how the image came to his
an all-night prayer meet-ing."
Except for a few tes-timonies
and the invita-tion
Bill Bright gave each
evening, the Koreans did
everything in the nightly
service. 90 per cent of the
Korean churches partici-pated.
"It was impressive to
witness the mobilization
of the Christian people and
the many thousands of peo-ple
making professions for
Christ," said Mrs. Lund-quist.
"But what was more
impressive was the hun-dreds
and hundreds of
young people who express-ed
a desire to give them-selves
to full-time mission-ary
work."
The Koreans hope to
send out 1000 missionar-ies,
primarily for the evan-gelization
of Asia.
mind.
Mayer doesn't like his
work classified as mixed
media. "You're mixed me-dia,"
he told his audience,
discussing body composi-tion.
"What is your fin-oer
nail made of?"
Mayer said he is cam-paigning
for not stuffing
his exhibition with a lot of
works. "I like to leave
breathing room and a clear
atmosphere. I think about
the air it will breathe."
He uses cardboard ex-tensively

cause it's easy to manipu-late.
"This allows me to
cut or implant forms in
the surface, so they're com-pletely
married to the sur-face.
"I have a fixation with
fireworks, and think of .
myself as a sort of pyro-maniac."
Some of the
pieces have firecrackers,
sparklers and fuses im-planted
in the surface.
Mayer said he covered
the works with glass be-cause

Thirty-two days from today the eligible citizens of
this country will go to the polls to vote for the candi-date
of their choice. The position to be filled: President
of the United States.
As we absorb ourselves in the worries of collegiate
life we sometimes fail in our responsibilities as citizens
of the free country in which we live, America. We feel
little or no sense of obligation to keep abreast of the
political scene, fearing the frustrations that is some-times
the result of such attention. We think that it
makes no difference if we don't vote.
There we are wrong. Although the popular vote is
not the deciding factor in the presidential election, it
does play an important role. The electoral college is
strongly influenced by the opinions of its constituents.
Even mild apathy on our part may give the members of
the electoral college a false impression of, our opnions
about the United States presidency.
For many the 1980 presidential election is a choice
between the lesser of two, or three, evils. The argument
goes then, that the lesser of these evils is still an evil.
Therefore, why should we vote. The question should
be, why shouldn't we vote?
At Bethel we can go a step further. Don't we as
Christians have an obligation to cast a ballot? (Ah, yes,
now we get restless. Now we start to wriggle in our
places. Now we feel a tinge of guilt—maybe.) But, we
argue, we don't think that we should vote—even as
Christians—if we don't know what the issues are and
don't really like any of the candidates.
We should stand corrected. We should be informed,
and the way to information is ours to find. The chan-nels
are many, though not always beckoning our atten-tion.
There is no doubt that awareness does not come

easy, but that doesn't excuse our lack of effort.
So we don't like any of the candidates. There is at
least one good element in every presidential candi-date—
most likely more than that. Once we become
informed we stand in a better position to determine
which candidate has the most fine attributes and
deserves to be elected. We probably won't agree with
everything about any given candidate, but we can find
enough common ground on which to rest our case in
support of that man.
This is not to send anyone down a guilt-laden trail.
Ours is not to preach, nor is it to condemn, judge or
otherwise chastise. We merely offer a simple reminder,
recognizing the intelligence possessed by members of
this community.
The Clarion wants to do more than remind, and with
this issue we begin a series of articles to help the Bethel
community reach a greater awareness of "Campaign
'80." We begin with a poll that reveals the general
opinions of the community regarding candidate and
party preference. We will continue with a presentation
of the candidates' stands on key issues such as energy,
foreign policy, abortion, ERA, minority problems,
inflation and the draft.
Subsequent issues will present a survey of the
issues which influence voters toward a certain candi-date,
essays on each candidate by students and profes-sors
and, finally, the facts about the where, when and
how of voting on November 4.
We may think that our voice is small, but imagine the
roar that could sound if the more than two thousand
members of this community stepped out on election
day and made even a small noise.

teaching new students Oct.

Enrichment and in the Lay
School of the Bible. The
professors will be teach-ing
from their field of spe-cialization,
thus creating a
variety of quality classes.
The School of Adult En-richment
is offered by the
college. The classes are pri-marily
"mini-versions" of
Bethel classes and are of a
"liberal-arts" type accord-ing
to Dr. Tricia Brownlee,
director of academic pro-grams.
The classes, which
do not carry any type of
credit, are open to anyone
and require no educational
prerequisite.
"We would like to see
this as an outreach," said
Brownlee, "and as a ser-vice

Sometimes I think one
sculpture is better than

As to the idea of being
both a Christian and an
artist, Mayer said, "I don't

together. I do what I do."
And how does he deal
with the average layper-son
who asks about his

Homecoming week with
all its traditional (and not-so-
traditional) excitement
ing for, the service of the
service bureau.
Computer programming
never seems to be com-plete
because improve-ments
are always made to
make the system more ef-ficient.
Some day the li-brary
check-out procedure
may be computerized, and
book store billing, the tele-phone,
and possible Clar-ion
copy for the printer
can be arranged by the
computer.
Up-to-date information
is the computer's greatest
asset. All information is
accurate as of the last
transaction made. This
will be particularly bene-ficial
in student accounts.
Everyone at Bethel will
benefit from the system in
some way, directly or in-directly.
More information
is available faster than
ever before. For example,
class lists are now avail-able
within hours of the
last registration transac-tion.
Does all of this easy-to-obtain
information pose a
threat to the privacy of
students? All roster infor-mation
is stored in the
computer, but, according
to Harder, "personal infor-mation
is not available to
just anyone, only to auth-orized
personnel. The secur-ity
system is very elabo-rate."
Authorized person-nel
are assigned a pass-word,
and this is the "key"
to the system. In addition,
departments are restricted
only to information that is
related to their work.
Harder also emphasized
that the new computer is
intended to increase effi-ciency,
reduce lines and
save money, but not elim-inate
people. "There are
still things people can do
faster, easier and better
than machines."
Bethel employees can be
easily trained to run the
terminals. "The people as-pect
is important," said
Harder. "We have tried to
make operation of the ter-minal
as easy as possible.
We want acceptance of the
system made as easy as
possible."

Mail call brightens military Christmases

If the Bethel community
were to elect the President
of the United States this
week, Reagan and the Re-publican
party would win
the most votes.
In a random poll of 293
students and 22 faculty
members which tallied
party and presidential pref-erences
at Bethel, Reagan
came out on top with 31
per cent of the votes; An-derson
received 21 per
cent, Carter 21 per cent,
and 27 per cent were unde-cided.
That's what armed for-ces
mail call is all about.
The sixth annual Christ-mas
mail call is now being
conducted for our young
military personnel who
will be away from home

Royal Investors support Bethel
by Leann M. Kicker
Royal Investors includes
about 300 people who give
generous amounts of mon-ey
to Bethel on a _regular
basis. The money these
people give is unrestricted,
going where it is the most
needed, rather than to a
specific area.
These unspecified mon-ies
go into Bethel's annual,
or current, fund which
pays for heat, light, salar-ies
and all the other ex-penses
involved in running
the school.
Bethel is operated on
gifts from many sources
besides the Royal Inves-tors.
John Sahlin, director
of development in Public
Affairs, summarized the
program this way: "All peo-ple
who give to Bethel are
Futurist Earl C. Joseph

Oct. 6 and 7. He will focus
on the questions: When
you graduate, will a ma-chine
do your job? and Is
today's technology leading
our society toward George
Orwell's "1984"?
These convocations are
not Royal Investors, but
they can be, if they pledge
a certain amount at least
$15 monthly or $180 a
year. Most give much more.
The point is—that they
give on a regular, contin-uing
basis and that their
gifts are undesignated, in
other words, for the cur-rent
fund."
The Royal Investors re-sembles
most fund-raising
programs, "It is primarily
an acknowledgment and
incentive program for those
who support Bethel in a
regular way," said to Har-vey
DeVries, president of
the Bethel Development
Foundation.
Bethel provides acknow-ledgment
and incentive by
giving all members a mem-bership
card, sending them
informative literature on
the college and seminary
partially supported by the
Sperry and Hutchinson
Foundation, of S & H

with Sperry Univac since
1951, began researching

and admitting them free to
some programs and athle-tic
events.
As a fund-raising pro-gram,
the Royal Investors
are successful and neces-sary
to Bethel's support
system. The consensus
among those interviewed
was that the Royals In-vestors
contribute substan-tially
to Bethel's $1.6 mil-lion
average annual goal.
Last year, 1979-80, the in-vestors
alone contributed
$250,000.
The group began around
1959 by five individuals
pooling their resources to
form the Bethel Investment
Corporation. The purposes
of the corporation was to
initiate Bethel's relocation
to the present campus. The
program has expanded and
evolved into its present

Canadian geese were plac-ed
in Lake Valentine be-cause
the species was on
the verge of extinction.
The lake was a desig-nated
wildlife preserve.
Since then the flock has
grown to over 200. The
geese are now beginning
to endanger the ecosystem
of the lake and tend to
make a mess on campus,
according to Rheingold's
report.
When a home is found
for the clipped geese, the
bubbler to keep the lake
thawed will be removed.
The hope is that this will
encourage the flock to find
a new home.

The kingdom of the wide gate is deceiving
The kingdom of the wide gate is like a massive glacier that crawls down a valley
slower than the eye can measure. As it progresses it carries every tree and rock off
the surface until it finally fills the entire valley.
The kingdom of the wide gate is like this. A young girl developed a craving for
foods with sugar partly because her parents gave her sweets for good behavior and
partly because she reveled in sneaking cookies and chocolates which her parents
forbade her to eat. From year to year her craving was fostered, yet equally so were
the cavities that spread in her teeth. Neither her parents,nor she herself knew of these
cavities until a decade later when her mouth pained to even chew on a chocolate chip.
The kingdom of the wide gate is like a company of ants floating down a very slow
river on some styrofoam. In relation to all the driftwood and debris that floated along
with them, the ants perceived everything as stationary. But in relation to the turtle
observing them from the shore, the ants and all else adrift were heading downstream
towards the waterfall.
The kingdom of the wide gate can be compared to an audience watching a movie in
a theatre. During the film the phrases `Eat Popcorn' and 'Drink CocaCola' were
flashed on the screen so rapidly that nobody consciously saw it. And during inter-mission
nearly everyone went out to the lobby and bought refreshments until all the
food and drinks ran out.
The kingdom of the wide gate is like a group of children who constructed a variety
of sand castles along the sea shore. Some built tall ones; others built long ones. Some
castles had moats while others had sea shells for decoration. But soon the high tide
came in and washed over all the castles, leveling them as if they were never built.
The kingdom of the wide gate is like a mother making gingerbread people. All the
dough that doesn't fit into the mold is gathered into a ball and rolled out flat for more
people. And when the dough is not enough for the mold the mother eats it raw.
The kingdom of the wide gate is like a man who worked on a hundred-piece jigsaw
puzzle in order to glue the picture into a frame and preserve it. Every piece was
sought out and fitted into its proper place. In due time the puzzle was completed
except one piece was missing. As he searched high and low, the lost piece increas-ingly
provoked much irritation in him. Finally, he gave up and appeased his anger by
throwing out the other ninety-nine pieces in the garbage.
The kingdom of the wide gate is similar to a large school of small fish in the ocean.
By swimming close together they create the appearance of being unapproachable,
hence discouraging potential predators. The fish that wanders or fails to keep up
with the school falls prey for any hungry attackers. But the fish that concentrates on
swimming in unison with the others maintains his own safety.
The kingdom of the wide gate is like a box of rubber bands wherein every member
enjoys the relaxed company of his box. And yet each rubber band dreads the way he
might be chosen for some purpose.
Strive to enter the kingdom by the wide gate, for the way is easy....

Speech/Communication
offers job versatility Forensics flourish
at ISU tournament
by Debbie Anderson
So you think that speech
communication majors are
destined to give speeches
the rest of their lives? Not
true, according to several
speakers at the Speech As-sociation
of Minnesota
speech convention. The con-vention,
held Friday and
Saturday at the College of
St. Catherine, covered
many topics, from the role
of communication in dys-functional
families to thea-ter
dance in high schools
and colleges.
Two of the sessions were
especially designed for un-dergraduates.
They fo-cused
on the topic, "What
can speech communication
graduates do?" Bob Nel-son,
a graduate of Maca-lester
College and current-ly
employed at Northwes-tern
Banks, said that a
speech communication ma-jor
is actually the best ma-jor
to have because of its
versatility.
David Lee, assistant pro-fessor
and chairman of the
speech communication de-partment
at Bethel, said
that this is especially im-portant
because 80 per cent
of the jobs as we know
them today will not exist
in five years.
Tom Netherton, nation-ally
known singer with
the Lawrence Welk Show,
will appear at the Jesus
People Church, 805 Hen-nepin

sponsored by the Greater
Minneapolis Association
of Evangelicals (GMAE).
Concert times are 2:30
p.m. and 8:00 p.m., and
tickets cost $6.00 for the
evening concert. Senior ci-
TwO recent Bethel grad-uates
were also on the pro-gram.
Scott Larson, a 1980
graduate, spoke on job al-ternatives.
Denise (Han-sen)
Oie, a 1980 graduate,
spoke on skills that are
needed on the job. Other
speakers gave tips on how
to look for a job, ideas for
interviews and suggestions
for job preparation.
Several Bethel students
attended the convention.
Many left encouraged
about job prospects. One
student said, "I'm glad I
went to the convention. It
made me excited about look-ing
for a job."

Non-study skills uncovered by government studies
by Laura Phillips
"Recent government studies now conclusively show
that studying drastically improves college students'
non-studying skills."
I read this with mixed emotions. Being a college
student, I was understandably excited to discover
myself so personally identified in print.
However, skepticism also crept into my well-trained
mind upon reading the words, "government studies
now conclusively show..." After all, government studies
have conclOsively shown leisure suits may cause
cancer in mice, and landslides can be hazardous to
your health. So what?
I read on.
"Long suspected of occuring, this improvement of
non-study skills was recently uncovered at Bethel
College in Arden Hills, Some important findings fol-low.
"While 'studying' in the LRC's quiet study
area, it was found that the average student
becomes extremely adept at:
—sleeping
—manicuring his/er nails using only teeth
and a Bic pen
—accurately guessing how many para-graphs
a nearby student highlights over a
23 -minute period
—eating crinkly-wrapped candy noise-lessly
—deciphering film soundtracks coming
through the concrete-block wall of the
adjoining classroom
—slouching
—tying and untying his/er shoelaces with-out
using hands.
"While 'studying' in the LRC next to a window, the
average student easily masters the skills of:
—sleeping
—counting clouds
—determining the rug's fiber content
—reading book titles eight stacks down
—counting leaves on a mature oak tree
—depending on the sun's position, mak-ing
handmade miniature sundials out of
notebook paper
—estimating the velocities of passing
cars and joggers
—composing variations on the theme
'The Fluorescent Light Buzz.'
"While 'studying' in Doc's Corner, the average student
effortlessly conquers the skills of:
—sleeping
—adding mustaches and/or beards to all
faces in textbook pictures (this skill is
somewhat rare due to the appalling scarc-ity
of pictures in college textbooks)
—people-watching
—talking
—determining by smell alone the chemi-cal
compositions of concoctions occuring in
the adjacent chemistry labs
—gaining weight (due to cookie intake)
—becoming addicted to-coffee."
Further studies also show that "studying" in dorms
and/or apartments radically alters students' personal-ities.
The article continued, but I had decided to test the
government's findings and conduct a small-scale study
on my own: I would go to the LRC, "study," and record
my results.
The next day, staggering under a small mountain of
philosophy and business textbooks, I laid claim to a
quiet study area carrell. Upon opening the first text-book
in the mortuary-like silence, strange things began
to happen:
—I found myself tracing every conceiv-able
woodgrain pattern in the carrell I
could find.
—I wrote my mother a long letter (this
may not seem strange, except I am a com-muter).
—I tried writing "This carrell is reserved
for quite study" in 12 languages (this took
some time as I only know one and a half
languages).
—I fell asleep.

CC debut.
The campus coordina-tor
position made its de-but
in the fall of 1970, with
senior John Goodman as
the sole coordinator.
Goodman's duties for
the trial position included
most of the same duties
.associated with the job
now, with the exception of
a new student exchange
program called SWAP.
The idea of the program
was to exchange 14 other
students livith two other
campuses for a week, to
provide interaction be-tween
schools, and "an
all-around view of ano-ther
campus."
Goodman also made ar-rangements
with Day-ton's

to purchase tickets

through his office.
His office was located in a

Growth has caused the
Bethel's Theatre Arts de-partment
to add new cur-riculum,
restructuring
classes to give students a
more intense and in-depth
study.
"Our department is ma-turing,"
said Doug Briggs,
chairman. "We've made the
big step and we're going to
try to stand on our own
and compete with other
schools of our size, both
secular and Christian."
In past years the depart-ment
has had many begin-ning
level classes, but in-sufficient
upper level
courses. This prompted the
decision to revise the cur-riculum.
Students wishing to fill
a creativity requirement
now have creative perfor-mance
which is open only
to 10 p.m. After ten years,
however, the effects of the
policy have proven negli-gible:
library socializing
in 1980 is still a highly
communicable disease.
New Curriculum.
Ever wonder how those
Iwo letters become at-tached
to some of the
course numbers at Bethel?
Ten years ago the current
curriculum of concern-oriented
and discipline-oriented
courses was pre-sented
before the faculty.
The curriculum commit-t
ee had been meeting
weekly for, two years, and
prior to tha,t meet-ings
involved discussions
on the curriculum.
. One of the committee's
foremost conclusions was
that the studePt "has
learned ways to cope with
life...and comes to us with
common human concerns.
It is these concerns with
which the new curriculum
attempts to deal."
The new curriculum
saw both the teacher and
student as holding these
common concerns, with
the difference that the
teacher had more years of
experience behind him.
to non-theatre concentra-tors.
Creative performance in-troduces
students to dif-terpretation,
radio and tele-vision.
Non-concentrators like
the addition of the crea-tive
performance course.
Karin Christensen, present-ly
enrolled in the class,
said, "It is nice not to have
theatre concentrators in
creative performance. I
don't have to feel intimi-dated
by the people who
specialize in theatre."
Theatre in the church is
another new arrival. This
is a practically-oriented
class dealing with drama
in the church.
The Christian in thea-tre,
a new upper level
course, discusses Christian
ethics and theology while
integrating it with theatre
practice and aesthetics.

MissionarieS, said Larson,
should be building bridges •
between walls. "The great-est
thing that the SMP
experience could offer to a
young person is the oppor-tunity
to go out and learn
from somebody whom his
culture has told him to
look down on," he said.
Larson plans to use
many of his experiences
and findings in two books
that he is writing: "Bare-foot
Approach to Language
Learning" and "Bi-Pass-ing."
What is needed is orien-tation
programs that can
somehow teach attitudes,
said Larson. Missionaries
must not criticize and
separate themselves from
the culture, but they must
adopt the culture's way of
life and actually become a
part of it.

Ask 235 people what
makes a good chapel ser-vice
and there will be 235
different answers. Dave
Horn, assistant campus
pastor, is developing cha-pel
programs with a diver-sity
to meet some of stu-dents
varied needs and in-terests.
There will be issues dir-ected
at students' prob-lems
such as a talk by Dr.
Art Lewis; biblical studies
professor, on "dating." Wed-nesdays
have been design-ed
to be a more formal
type of worship service.
Lee Eliason, campus pas-tor
while Jim Spickelmier
is on sabbatical, and Dr.
Bruce Leafblad from the
music department, led the
community in various
forms of worshiping God.
Horn has also attemp-ted
to use the services of
such familiar names as Jill
Briscoe, Josh McDowell,
John White, Madeline L'En-gle,
Arthur Holmes, Tony
Campolo, Dawson MacAl-lister,
John Perkins and
Ken Medema.
Horn has approximately
$4,000 to work with for
the year. This pays for
honorariums, travel and
lodging for speakers plus
additional chapel costs.
Horn also looks forward
to chapels that tap the
creative potential of this
community: various stu-dent
and faculty chapels;
departmental chapels, in-cluding
the art, music and
drama departments; and
various multi-media pre-sentations.
This year he
wants to get away from
just speaker-oriente chapels.
Although Horn does the
chapel programming, he
receives suggestions from
the chapel and spiritual
life committee. He also en-courages
suggestions from
the students and faculty.
While chapel programs
are designed to be atten-tion-
getting, entertainment
is not their goal. Horn feels
that if there is something
challenging or thought-pro-voking,
people will be there.
"I'm excited about this
year and the tone that's on
campus," Horn said. He
sees chapel as having a
significant role in the com-munity.
He also stressed
that chapel attendance is
expected. "I think we need
to re-evaluate the word
'expected.' Students have
a responsibility. Whether
or not chapel is entertain-ing
is besides the point."

Ginny Olson, junior, worked in Kenya, Africa with the summer
missions program.
Senior Bonnie Goding spent the summer working in Narimasu, Japan for SMP.
Page 9
Summer SMPers weigh attitudes, babies, culture
by Naomi Ludeman
Bonnie Goding, senior,
learned a lotabout faith as
one of 36 students sent out
under the Student Mission-ary
Project (SMP) last
summer. One afternoon
she found herself lost, be-wildered
and against
many odds. She had to
choose a train to board out
of approximately a hun-dred
to take her to her des-tination.
She could not
speak the language to ask
for help. All she could do
was believe that God
would guide her to the
right train.
"By a miracle," she said,
she arrived safety in Nari-masu,
Tokyo, Japan, where
she taught conversational
English and led Bible stud-ies
in a Christian church.
Besides adjusting to the
domestic cultural habits
of Japan she had to deal
with a different way of
thinking and of dealing
with conflict.
"In Japan the group is
more important than the
individual," she said.
"When solving a conflict,
everyone's suggestions are
used with total considera-tion
to make the final deci-sion.
Voicing honest per-sonal
opinions is not ex-pected.
An individual iden-tity
does not exist apart
from the group. I learned
to be more patient and put
myself in their shoes."
Goding recognized many
of her own hidden cultural
patterns and often ques-tioned
whether they truly
represented Christianity.
"What cultural things in
the American church does
God put up with in order
to accomplish His greater
purpose?" she asked.
Goding holds the same
positive feelings about mis-sions
she had before she
left. She believes she
would have a ministry whe-ther
she remained in the
United States or-traveled
abroad. "If the Lord calls
me, I will most definitely
go anywhere," she said.
"The most urgent thing I
would tell the Bethel fam-ily
is that God is faithful.
He has walked the way
before us. We can go into
anything and be conquer-ors,"
she emphasized.
Ginny Olson, junior,
spent her summer in Ken-ya,
Africa, with the help of
SMP. Her work involved
weighing babies for health
clinics, typing business sta-tistics
for the Kijabe Med-ical
Centre and teaching
English and Sunday school.
"Just because I was do-ing
an obvious task for the
Lord did not mean I was a
super-saint. I hit the same
rain clouds in Kenya as I
do here."
Olson's expectations of
herself for the summer lev-eled
to reality once she
started her work in Ken-ya.
"I thought I would make
a big impact and that I
was doing something spe-cial.
I was humbled in see-ing
myself as just one of
many of the Lord's work-ers,"
she said.
It was a great summer,
but not all fun. She be-came
frustrated with her
job and the people around
her. "I got caught up in the
same trivial things there
as I can be caught in at
home," Olson said. She
made friends with the peo-ple
with whom she lived
and worked, but she also
felt alone at times. She said
through the summer "God
has become my best friend.
Wherever I am, He is. He
is not tied by physical boun-daries."
Two years ago Olson
did not think missions was
for her. She heard that if
you are not open to any-where
God wants you to
be than you are not totally
His. The Lord began to
change her attitude. Doors
started to open for the pos-sibilities
of a missionary
experience through SMP.
After attending Urbana
'79 her desire grew, so she
applied to SMP. "Now I
feel that our prayer should
not be whether we are
called to go but whether
we are called to stay!" she
said.
On the opposite side of
Africa another Bethel stu-dent
served through SMP,
junior Mark Whittemore.
Before going to Africa,
Whittemore thought of him-self
as a spectator of mis-sions
rather than an ac-tual
worker. His exper-ience
in the Benin Repub-lic
was just the opposite.
By day he was a fix-it
man, maintenance man and
carpenter. He learned to
create make-shift equip-ment
out of available ma-terials.
By night he taught Bible
and English studies and
had prayer with the Chris-tian
nationals.
The Benin Republic has
an unstable government.
The present government
has controlled the Repub-lic
for only seven .years.
The fact that political
change could take place
any time unsettled Whit-temore
some. He also fear-ed
the nationals' reactions
to him as a white man.
The most pertinent les-son
Whittemore learned
was the meaning of the
phrase "by prayer." He was
away from the people he
knew and loved best. "It
was just the Lord and me,"
he said. Yet by prayer he
experienced peace. He said
he developed an "unyield-ing
confidence in the Lord
no matter what the circum-stance."
We also experienced the
reality of the bridge of
prayer. Knowing that peo-ple
prayed for him en-couraged
and comforted
him. He wants to encour-age
everyone to pray for
and write to specific mis-sionaries.
Whittemore was sur-prised
to learn that "mis-sionaries
are real people."
They have anxieties. A
night for fun and a game of
Yahtzee was a common
sight. They appreciate ma-terial
things too, he said.
Whittemore urged the Be-
Theatre department
from page 7
Changes have also been
made in theatre practicum,
the department's senior sem-i
na r. Projects are designed
by the individual and ap-proved
by the faculty. Prd-jects
can include design-ing
lights or costumes for
a play, writing and per-forming
a play or doing a
type of senior recital with
different types of drama-tic
pieces or oral interpre-tations.
Daniel Runion, a senior
theatre concentrator, said,
"It is exciting to see the
changes. It offers those in
the theatre arts program
and those coming into the
program an opportunity
thel family not to "hesitate
because you feel unquali-fied
or because of finances.
The Lord needs availabil-ity
more than ability."
These are only three of
the thirty-six students sup-ported
by the prayer and
finances of many last sum-mer.
All are eager to talk
about their enriching sum-mers.
Students interested
in SMP may contact the
campus ministries office.
for a more intense and
serious study."
These changes will cause
lower enrollment for upper
level courses but will
strenghten the department
for theatre concentrators.
It will give concentrators
a chance to excel in their
classes because all the stu-dents
will be advanced and
more serious about the sub-ject.
"It is distinctive to have
a theatre arts program at a
Christian school," said
Briggs. "We hope to draw
more theatre concentrators
as freshman because of
our changes."

Welcome Week: new light to old ideas
by Shari Goddard
Dr. Alfred Glenn used
fifteen years of his "Theol-ogy
One" class as a cruci-ble
for his book, "Taking
Your Faith to Work." In
short, easy-to-read sec-tions,
Glenn attempts to
supply solid theological an-swers
for important ques-tions
of applied faith.
In each doctrinal study,
Glenn writes in a refresh-ingly
simple style that
brings theological jargon
into firm, easily under-standable
language. His to-pics
of exploration include:
the essence of Christian
faith, the Church, worship,
Sunday, work, politics,
marriage, death, the self,
Spiritual gifts, authority
and mystery.
In his preface, Glenn ex-plains
that one of his goals
was to "correct misunder-standings
that are frequent-ly
held by evangelicals ...
every topic in this book
touches on evangelical mis-understandings
that are ei-ther
contrary to Scripture,
or simply inadequate inter-pretations
of Scripture."
Though the sections are
not meant to be fully devel-oped
statements of sys-tematic
theology, the
thoughtful development of
each subject brings into
perspective complex issues
of faith in a modern world.
While he attempts to an-swer
many questions,
Glenn is also careful to
leave the reader with some
unanswered. Each section
A public forum on the

This year's Welcome
Week program was dif-ferent
from other years at
Bethel College, a difference
attributed to new leader-ship,
both among students
and administration.
The student leaders of
the 1980 Welcome Week
staff, Tammy Carlson and
Gregg Heinsch, both sen-iors,
began their work in
January 1980. Their task,
co-ordinating Welcome
Week, was completed this
fall when the new fresh-men
and transfer students
were oriented to Bethel.
Carlson and Heinsch be-gan
by determining goals
and philosophies for the
1980 Welcome Week.
The new emphasis this
year was not merely on
academics. Rather, the em-ends
with questions for
discussion.
Glenn lists Scripture pas-sages
in full if their use is
especially essential to an
argument, but he encour-ages
looking up many of
the references for the rea-der's
own benefit.
The twelve separate sec-tions
make this an excel-lent
choice for group or
class study. The topical
arrangement also lends it
good form for use as a per-sonal
reference. It is hoped
that another fifteen years
need not pass for the cru-cible
of the classroom to
help Glenn pull another
vibrant work from the fire.
a series of workshops will
be held on such topics as
Iran and the media, the
role of Islam and the his-tory
of U.S.-Iranian rela-tions.
A film and slide-show
will also be shown.
Suggested donation is
$2 for each day. Bring your
own lunch or call in reser-vations
for a prepared lunch.

by Minnesota Clergy and
Laity Concerned, and en-dorsed
by U of M Fellow-ship

phasis was on introducing
the new students to a well-rounded
life of activities
at Bethel. According to
Carlson, "Welcome Week
was to show that being a
Christian was not some-thing
outside of academ-ics.
It is integrated with
social and spiritual growth
as well."
Choosing participants
for the 1980 Welcome Week
Staff was the next step for
the coordinators. Auditions
were held last March. Out
of 150 applicants, 48 were
chosen on the basis of how
they would fit into the
goals of the program. No
returning staff member
was allowed to come back
without audition.
This year's theme verse
was Psalms 126:3, "The
Lord has done great things
for us; we are glad." The
staff members served the
new students out of the
joy that God has given
them. Carlson and Heinsch
picked a staff that would
reach out to other people.
When talking about the
selection of participants,
Carlson said, "We spent a
lot of time in prayer."
Preparing spiritually
played a big role in this
year's Welcome Week. The
staff prayed a lot, espe-cially
in times of need.

A sabbatical does not
mean a vacation, at least
not for Don Larson, pro-fessor
of linguistics and
anthropology. Larson was
in Southeast Asia from
April 6 to May 6 this past
spring, researching and as-sisting
missionary orien-ta
lion programs. His task
was to help missionaries
who were having trouble
adapting to the culture and
language of the country.
Larson spent most of his
time in Japan, Taiwan, the
Philippines, Hong Kong,
Thailand and Bangladesh.
A "typical" clay began at
6:30 a.m. when he was
picked up to go to the
home of a missionary to
discuss their problems in
language learning.
At 8 a.m. he went to a
language school to meet
with the director and teach-ers.
He visited classes and
exchanged questions and
answers with both teach-
"We're praying because it
works, not because it's the
thing to do," said Heinsch.
A new and different high-light
was a communion
service last May when all
the planning was done, per-formed
by an off-campus
pastor. The spiritual em-phasis
helped unite the
staff.
Carlson and Heinsch ac-credit
the new and differ-ent
organization of Wel-come
Week to the new
dean of men, Charles Retts.
Both the leaders agreed
,*
ers and students.
He usually spent lunch
with a committee that
wanted to discuss mission-ary
issues.
By 2:30 p.m. he was at a
teacher's home discussing
more topics concerning
language learning. • Later
in the afternoon he met
with students.
6:30 was suppertime, fol-lowed
by an informal meet-ing
with missionary lead-ers.
When everyone left
and Larson was alone, Lar-son
said he pulled out his
notes and tape recorder so
that when he returned
home he "wouldn't get to-day
confused with tomor-row."
Larson left Southeast
Asia with a deeper reali-zation
that missionaries
should be more socially
and culturally prepared to
go into the mission field.
He cited one case of a
missionary who, after
three years, had not yet
learned the language of
the Asian country he was
that Retts was a positive
influence. Said Heinsch,
"Charlie gave. us a new
enthusiasm. He gave a new
light to old ideas."
Retts stressed the need
for proper organization
and communication. These
two elements were very
important because Wel-come
Week involved eve-ryone
in the school, not
just 48 staff members.
Retts attended almost all
the functions of . Welcome
Week, and really became
one of the staff.

in. After probing and ques-tioning,
Larson discovered
that this missionary had
been stationed in this
same Asian country while
he was in the United
States Army. During the
service, the man develop-ed
a resentment against
t he people of the country.
Thirteen years later these
feelings were still simmer-ing,
making him ineffec-tive
as a missionary, said
Larson.
He said that this was
just one example of how
walls are built between
people. All too often mis-sionary
candidates are
"unable, unwilling and un-ready
to learn from people
their own culture has
taught them to look down
on."
Instead of having a su-perior
attitude, missionar-ies
should be learners, striv-ing
to live side-by-side with
people from that country.

Royals top Hamline, tie Gustavus
by T.J. Johnson
The soccer team is still
going about its winning
ways this week with a 2-0
victory over Hamline on
Wednesday and a 0-0 tie
on Saturday.
In both games Royals
dominated play most of
the game.
The Saturday game
against Gustavus was the
biggest game of the year
so far. They went ready to
play. They wanted a win
and proved it with great
defense by Andy Larson
who has really taken con-trol
of that aspect of the
game along with Steve Fi-gini,
Jeff Krause, Doug Bar-key
and especially goalie
Bo Cedersjo, who has now
3 scoreless games to his
credit. This defense has
only let in one goal - in the
last three games.
The coach said Greg "Zig-gy"
Held played super on
offense, getting off many
shots.
He also said the soccer
team has really come
around the corner and is
going to be one of the top
teams. By the end of the
year they are going to have
to come to us.
The J.V. team is really
starting to come around.
On Saturday they had a
1-1 tie with the Gushes
J.V., with a goal - being
scored by freshman Dave
Anderson. If they would
have pulled out the first
game, Mark Leigh thinks
we would have won the
second game too.
"It was an excellent game
both ways. They played
well too and I'm pleased
with the results," said
Leigh.
The Wednesday game
was a different story. The
team started out slow and
tired but finished out on
top with goals by Steve
"William" Figini and Joel
"Edman" Kraakevic with
assists from Capt. Jon
Fredrickson, senior.
Halfbacks Kraakevic,
Neil Kaiser and Mark
Koerner, the silent work-horse,
played exceptional
soccer in the Wednesday
game.
Cedersjo earned the 2-0
shutout after an excellent
game with help from jun-ior
Andy Larson.
The team would has a
five game homestand start-ing

Canoe races, bike races,
a swim meet and a chess
tournament make up a few
of the ten new events add-ed
to the intramural sche-dule
this year. "We're try-ing
to open up more things
for more students instead
of concentrating on just
the big things," explains
Phil Almeroth, intramural
director. Other additions
include men's volleyball, a
cross-country meet, a back-gammon
tournament, a
cross-country ski race and
a track meet.
The student directors of
the intramural program
this year are Leslie Smith
and Phil Almeroth. Smith,
junior, has a physical ed-ucation
concentration. She
will be in charge of all
women's events. Almeroth
also a junior, has a busi-ness
concentration.
George Palke, assistant
professor in physical edu-cation
and basketball
coach, is the faculty advi-sor
for the program. Bob
Giddings, Bob Gerr, Shei-la
Kroon and Brad Nau-man
will serve as events
supervisors.
Faculty, staff and any
students taking at least
one class are eligible to
participate. Students on a
varsity or junior varsity
team cannot participate in
that intramural sport.
There will be five days in
advance of each activity
to sign up. Almeroth em-phasizes
that they will be
strict on the deadlines, al-lowing
no exceptions.
Fees will be charged for
some of the large team
events, and following the
tournaments individual
and team champions will
receive a certificate. Win-ners
in each of the sports
can also purchase T-shirts.
Almeroth states that
sign-up sheets for reserv-ing
racquetball courts are
at the intramural office,
PE 221, Friday mornings
at 7:30. Reservations are
the following Monday
through Saturday.
The intramural depart-ment
will open the gym
from 8:15-10:15 on week-day
nights, 9-4 p.m. on
Saturdays and 2-4 p.m.on
Sundays for anyone who
wishes to use the facil-ities.
The department has ath-letic
equipment which stu-dents
and faculty may
check out with a valid ID
card. Items available in-clude
basketballs, canoes,
tennis racquets, ski equip-ment
and volleyball equip-ment.
Some items require
a rental fee.
Further information can
be found in the intramural
handbook containing all
eligibility rules, sports
rules, rental fees and pre-vious
standings. These
booklets are available from

commented, "It should be
good. St. Olaf and Carleton
will give us good fights."
Saturday the Royals
blasted their way to first
place in the tournament at
-Hamline.
"I was pleased; we did
not play a high and emo-tional
game. We were able
to play and execute. The
ball came over and we
played, passed and hit it,"
said Coach Book.
Bethel played in four
matches of two games
each, finishing 8-0 at the
end of the day.
St. Thomas was their
first opponent; Bethel won
15-10 and 15-7. Bethel de-feated

The Bethel Royals foot-ball
squad found out Sat-urday
that you can't keep
a good team down. They
took on the highly-ranked
UW-River Falls Falcons
and found out what a good
football team can really
do. The Falcons big-play
offense was too much for
the Royals who lost 51-15.
The Falcons, who made
the NAIA playoffs last
year, and this year were
rated sixth in the nation,
rolled out to an early lead.
Their first touchdown
came on a 56-yard scamper
by quarterback Jim Abbs.
The Royals took the the
ensuing kick-off and drove
down to the Falcon two-yard
line.
On the fourth down the
Royals gambled and went
for six points instead of a
field goal. But quarterback
Jim Anderstrom fumbled
the snap from center and
Bethel's hopes for an upset
seemingly were smashed.
River Falls then went
down the field, culminat-ing
the drive with a one-yard
run by halfback Dale
Mueller. The conversion
made the score 14-0, River
Falls. The Falcons scored
their third touchdown of
the first quarter on a raz-and
15-8. And, to conclude
the day, Bethel devastated
Concordia-St. Paul, 15-1
and 15-4. Bethel alone had
a perfect record for the
tournament, earning them
the tournament title.
Book commented on the
individual performances
this weekend, "In that
many games it is difficult
to pick one or two (best
performances); every sin-gle
person came through
for us. This year we are
blessed with depth on the
bench. I can take them off
the bench, put them in the
game and have confidence
in their play."
Bethel also defeated Gus-tavus
Adolphus and St.
Scholastica last week in
three out of five matches.
The Royals now stand 9-2
over-all and 1-0 in the con-ference.
Coach Book said
that of the six teams in the
Northern Minnesota Con-ference
four will go to the
_ State tournament, and "We
have a good chance of
being one of them."
zle-dazzle, flea-flicker pass
for 46 yards and extended
their lead to 21-0.
In the second quarter,
the Royals gave the fans a
glimpse of what Bethel foot-ball
can become. For the
second straight week, fresh-man
Steve Doten came in
the game and directed the
Royals to two touchdowns.
The first drive was im-pressive
as Doten consis-tently
found that his re-ceivers,
especially Pete
Kramka and Rich Graves,
were always in an open
area. Then, at the Falcon's
three-yard line, Doten hit
Ken Cooper and "Coop"
was all alone going into
the end zone. Paul Lind-berg's
conversion brought
Bethel closer at 21-7.
Later, Doten found Rich
Graves open in the end
zone after another strong
drive. The senior wide re-ceiver
hauled in the pass.
and the score was 21-13.
The Royals lined up for
the conversion kick, but
holder Rich Duehn took
the snap and threw to Coo-per
for two points. making
the halftime score 21-15.
In the second half the
Falcons showed their pow-er
as they ran and passed
at will for consistently long
gains. They began kvith
33-yard field goal and add-ed
touchdown runs of 9, 1,
Tomorrow the women's
cross country team will
compete at St. Olaf in a
large invitational meet.
Coach Leighton Betz pre-dicted
it would be an "ex-tremely
tough meet, as all
the better schools will be
there."
Last week Bethel fin-ished
eighth of 13 at the
Mankato meet, and every-one
ran a personal best.
Ellie Abbott finished the
three mile, 188-yard course
first for Bethel and 12th of
the 100 runners with a
time of 19:09.
Linda Hallblade finished
46th with 21:05; Daryl Pe-terson
came in 51st with
23:12; Kathy Zappe was
52nd with 23:49; Carla
Lorch took the 59th posi-tion
with 24:94; JoAnne
Ferril was 61st with 24:25;
Ruth Olsen came in 91st
with 26:08; and Penny Ly-on
finished 93rd with
26:32.
Brenda Harris and Lana
Lauwers did not partici-pate
due to injuries.
Coach Betz said of the
upcoming St. Olaf meet,
"The St. Olaf course is
hilly, which presents a new
type of challenge, but it
will add some interest to
the meet."
The State tournament
will take place at St. Olaf,
so the team will be able to
practice for it. Coach Betz
pointed out that in Bethel's
Division only one woman
finished ahead of Abbott
last weekend in Mankato.
Coach Betz said that t he
team is looking toward its
own invitational on Octo-ber

10 and 74 yards.
Bethel Head Coach Dud
Lutton attributed the Fal-con's
domination to con-fusion
on the part of the
Bethel defense. "They used
some alignments and for-mations
that we were not
prepared for. When they
used a basic offense, we
were able to stay with
them. But when they used
a different offense in the
second half, we had some
problems with it."
Coach Lutton was
pleased with Doten's pass-ing
and the receiving of
Graves, Cooper, Kramka
and Frank Sanza. "Offen-sively,
Steve Doten did
some good things for us,
and our receivers also did
a very good job. Also, our
offensive line was much-improved
in their pass
blocking. Our major goal
this year is to get the struc-ture
of our program into
effect. Further down, as
our program grows, we
will be able to compete
with teams like (River
Falls)."
When asked if the quar-terback
changes made in
the last two weeks are
permanent, Lutton said
"No, but we're working on
it."
